Satisfaction

Satisfaction is the power grid efficiency displayed when you click a Tesla Tower or another power network node. It represents how well the connected power grid is being supplied, and the ideal value is always 100%. When Satisfaction drops below 100%, every building connected to that grid slows down proportionally, reducing production and other activity on that network.

Low Satisfaction can also create a feedback loop in which power-generating resources are produced more slowly. If fuel production falls, or if Solar Sail production is reduced, total power generation may drop even further, making the shortage worse. Once that happens, the entire grid can spiral into a full stoppage very quickly, so it is important to keep power capacity ahead of demand.

A grid whose Satisfaction falls below 10% changes its display to OFF, and all facilities connected to that power network stop completely. Even in this state, however, charging at Logistics Stations still proceeds normally.

In practice, Satisfaction is one of the most important values to monitor when expanding an industrial base. It is not just a simple power indicator; it directly affects production speed across the entire connected network. A factory that appears to have enough structures and raw materials may still underperform if the power grid is under-supplied. For that reason, maintaining a buffer of generation and fuel supply is essential, especially when scaling up smelters, assemblers, or any other power-hungry line.

• Keep Satisfaction at or near 100% to maintain full production efficiency.
• If the value begins to fall, increase generation before the shortage spreads.
• Be especially careful with fuel-based generation, since reduced output can worsen the shortage.
• Watch for the OFF state at below 10% Satisfaction, since it means connected buildings have fully stopped.
• Logistics Station charging is an exception and continues even when the grid is OFF.

Because Satisfaction reflects the health of the whole power grid, it is often the earliest warning sign that a base is outgrowing its energy infrastructure.
